In past years, I have observed unofficial bonfires in greenspaces and firework displays which have put residents at risk of burns and serious injury. The damage to local parks from bonfires has also created an eyesore for months afterwards.
The Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) highlights that there are numerous incidents over the years where animals have come to serious harm and even death as a result of fireworks being set off near them. It is the case that animals will panic and flee at the sound of the bang. Reports have been received of wild swans flying into electricity pylons and horses being badly injured after running through barbed wire fences.

This year, I hope that the official fireworks displays will be the chosen destination of residents. There are two public firework displays on Monday 5th November - the event at Glasgow Green starts at 4 - 9pm, and another in Drumchapel Park, from 4.30-8.30pm.
